GOD HAS PLANS FOR MY LIFE!

What would I be doing 10 years time? This would be my topic of discussion today.Firstly, in 10 years time, I would 25 years old. When faced with this question, what would I be doing 10 years time, this led me to think of another similar question, what do I want to be when I grow up. I feel that there is no certainty of what life has in store for us at this young and immature age. But, I guess, we can plan our futures, and realise it as we grow older.

I have been a Christian since I was young, and I’ve recently read the book, called the purpose driven life. I have learnt many things from it about life. Well, God, never meant for us to live a mediocre, average life. We were designed for excellence and everyone of us was uniquely created. Instead of being one in a million, we are actually one in about five billion. There is nobody else like you.

The first principle of living above average is that everyone needs a great ambition. We need a dream. If we don't have a dream, we're drifting. When we stop dreaming, we start dying. When we stop setting goals, we stop growing. We've got to have something that we're pushing toward, a goal of excellence. As long as our horizon is expanding, we'll be an emotionally healthy human being. God made us for growth; He wants us to grow and stretch and develop. God has a purpose for our life, and our key to success is to discover that purpose and cooperate with it. God never intended for us to go through life with a half-hearted attitude, wondering what we're doing and where we're going. God wants us to have an ambition, a great one in fact. A life with no challenges and no goals can be summed up in one word, a bore.

We should live life to the fullest and be content with whatever the circumstance is. But this does not mean that we should not set any goals, rather, be happy even though our dreams and ambitions have not been fulfilled. Imagine if contentment were used as an excuse for laziness, who would ever feed the poor or worry about world hunger, equality and justice? And besides, no one would be able to get an education.

In conclusion, I feel that life must be led to the fullest, and in 10 years time, I will know what god’s plan for my life is. Lastly, I would like to end of with the quote, “live life without regrets”, enjoy every moment of your life, and never turn back or regret what you’ve done, as everything done has a purpose in God’s eyes.

This was my speech today. Pretty inspiring huh! Though it was pretty last minute, and short, but I really meant it, from the bottom my my heart. Yeah.
